Click here for a demonstration of the push jerk.
A common mistake on the push jerk is not opening the hips to full extension. Click here for a video that shows this common fault and how to correct it.
I love the demonstration videos you’ve been posting Breck, very helpful!!

awesome job David!
Hey guys! I just wanted to introduce (unless you’ve already seen it of course) everyone to a handy resource that I frequent daily! Robb is the gentlemen who spoke at the Cert about the value of good nutrition… he’s awesome! He’s got lots of interesting stuff on his blog, http://www.robbwolf.com ,he is also an affiliate through CF NorCal. Check it out!
Thanks Danny!
I was shooting for 200 but my box jumps dropped off a lot as did my wall ball. Everything else was fairly consistent.
Nicole, thanks for the Robb Wolf referral. Lots of interesting information there.
I had intended to do “Fight Gone Bad”, but I don’t have Wall Ball access, the same wrist injury that keeps me doing chin-ups instead of pull-ups also keeps me from doing SDLHP, and I don’t have plyo box access. So I did a weird modification of everything in “Fight Gone Bad” and did not try to keep count and keep the clock. I just did fixed reps.
I did 3 rounds of 15x30lb. thrusters as a sub for wall ball, 15x45lb. back squats as a sub for the box jumps, 10x60lb. push press, and 2 minutes of rowing instead of 1 minute to compensate for no SDLHP. I got 24 calories in 2 minutes of rowing. My 1 minute break occurred when I walked across the gym from the weights to the row machine.
I think I have torn a nerve in my wrist. I can do lots of movements and lifts with no problem, but if I lower myself from the chin bar, or lower the barbell from SDLHP, or lower the bar too abruptly from a clean, then it feels like a tendon is being jerked out of my forearm. Does not seem to get worse or better no matter how much I do of other exercises. I can lower myself from a chin-up with no pain, but a lowering from a pull-up is excruciating. It sucks to be my right arm.
